Gypsy and Brownetail Moth Work. 
Supt. Kirkland, who has charge of 
the gypsy and brown-tail moth work, 
says it will cost as much this year to fight 
the pest as it did last year. He will ask 
the legislature for $300,000 to do the 
regular work, and perhaps $10,000 ex- 
tra with which to continue the parasite 
investigation. 
Manchester is called upon to spend 
some $430 more than last year. Last 
year $4302.18 was the sum called for, 
and this year the sum stipulated to be 
spent, by the order of the state superin- 
tendent, is $4732.48. The state year, 
in this department, begins with the pres- 
_ent year on Dec. 1, so that this amount 
is to be spent between Nov. 30, 1907, 
and Nov. 30, 1908. 
The legislature will be asked to change 
the law in relation to the state’s right to 
enter private property, as the law now in 
operation gives thestate no authority, even 
for scout duty before the owner has _ had 
a certain amount of time in which to 
clean the property. The past year the prop- 
erty owners were given until Dec. 1 in 
which to attend to the moth pest. Up 
to that time they could keep the state 
and town employees off their premises, 
this having been determined in court, 
but after Dec. 1 the employees had a 
right to enter private land and to charge 
the owners for any work they did to sup- 
press the moth pest. 
Six-Cent Fares Again. 
The long-talked-of increase in fares 
for riding on street railways is to be put 
into effect first on the Blue Hill Street 
Railway, which extends from Mattapan 
square, Boston, through the edge of 
Milton to Canton and Stoughton. One 
penny is added to the present five-cent 
rate, beginning on last Sunday. The 
length of ride fora single fare will be 
the same as heretofore; the fare will be 
six cents instead of five. 
Whether other companies will now 
follow the lead of this one, remains to 
be seen. Many of them have been dis- 
cussing the need; and for the last year 
or two, if not for an even longer period, 
there has been a rather general adoption, 
outside of the Boston system, of some 
device or other for bringing in more 
money. ‘The probability is that the six- 
cent unit will become fairly general out- 
side of Boston.
